It is unlikely you will receive a personal response if you send an
email to the pope, but the Holy See does read, collect and route all
mail. The Pope possibly has another private email address inside the

Pope John Paul II, the First Pope of the Internet AgeWhen Karol Józef Wojtyla became
Pope John Paul II in 1978, email was still in its infancy. The
first emailhad been written seven years ago, but barely a handful of people knew
computer networks existed at all. Yet, John Paul II became the first
email-savvy pontiff in history.
In late 2001, the pope reportedly
apologized for injustices committed by the Roman Catholic Church in Oceania via email.

nations and deliver his words of penitence in person, but email was the
second-best choice.
